"Mrs. Luman Reed" is a portrait painting by Charles Cromwell Ingham, an Irish-American painter known for his contributions to portrait art in the 19th century. Created in 1831, this artwork is a testament to Ingham's skill in capturing the essence and personality of his subjects through meticulous detail and vibrant color. The painting depicts Mrs. Luman Reed, the wife of Luman Reed, a prominent New York merchant and an important patron of the arts during the early 19th century. Luman Reed was instrumental in supporting American artists, and his patronage played a significant role in the development of the New York art scene during this period.

Charles Cromwell Ingham, born in 1796 in Dublin, Ireland, and later settling in New York, was a co-founder of the National Academy of Design in 1825. His work primarily focused on portraiture, and he became renowned for his ability to portray his subjects with a sense of realism and psychological depth. "Mrs. Luman Reed" is a prime example of Ingham's artistry, showcasing his adeptness at rendering textures, from the luxurious fabrics of Mrs. Reed's attire to the softness of her skin, all while capturing a moment of serene elegance.

The painting is not only a significant piece of art history but also a window into the social and cultural milieu of New York in the early 19th century. It reflects the values and aesthetics of the upper class during this era, as well as the important role of art patronage in the American art scene. Today, "Mrs. Luman Reed" is celebrated for its historical importance and artistic merit, offering insight into the life and times of both its subject and its creator.
